Grandma Jean

My grandma recently died, she loved yellow roses and writing poetry.

The Funny Side of It by Jean Ellis

I thought I would sort out my funeral 

Had the vicar up for tea,

We went through the reading, the psalm and the hymns, 

Well, they mean a lot to me.

Yellow roses for my coffin,

With the joyful hymn of praise,

How Jesus triumphed over death,

We can, if we mend our ways.

I don't mind dying really, 

I've had a wonderful life,

With good children and friends around me,

Been a mother, Grandma and wife.

I'm hoping to get to heaven,

I'm hoping to past the test,

But St. Peter will probably say,

"Get back in the queue with the rest." 

But I do believe God's promise, 

His love is everywhere,

The waiting will not have been in vain, 

And I hope to see you all there!

So thank you folks for listening,

To all the things I've said,

Oh! The one thing I forgot to mention,

Will you please make sure I'm dead!

The End
